Man Without A Face

I was nervous to meet Donnie Fritts. I’d never interviewed someone missing most of their face. While the sight of Donnie is initially jarring, the man behind the missing face is gentle and kind — and enormously funny. It’s been three years since I told his story and I think of him often. I still don’t know if I would have had to courage to make the decision he did. I did this story with my husband, Kenny Hamilton.
